    CHAPTER 24

    1.In astronomy, distances are often expressed in light-years. One light-year is the distance traveled by
    light in one year. The distance to Alpha Centauri, the closest star other than our own sun that can be
    seen by the naked eye, is 4.3 light-years. Express this distance in meters.
    2.The human eye is most sensitive to light with a frequency of about 5.5×1014 Hz, which is in the
    yellow-green region of the electromagnetic spectrum. How many wavelengths of this light can fit across
    the width of your thumb, a distance of about 2.0 cm?
    3.A mirror faces a cliff located some distance away. Mounted on the cliff is a second mirror, directly
    opposite the first mirror and facing toward it. A gun is fired very close to the first mirror. The speed of
    sound is 343 m/s. How many times does the flash of the gunshot travel the round-trip distance between
    the mirrors before the echo of the gunshot is heard?
    CHAPTER 25
    1.The radius of curvature of a convex mirror is 1.00×102 cm. An object that is 10.0 cm high is placed
    25.0 cm in front of this mirror. Using a ray diagram drawn to scale, measure (a) the location and (b) the
    height of the image. The mirror must be drawn to scale.
    2.The image produced by a concave mirror is located 26 cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of
    the mirror is 12 cm. How far in front of the mirror is the object located?
    3.A concave mirror has a focal length of 42 cm. The image formed by this mirror is 97 cm in front of
    the mirror. What is the object distance?
    CHAPTER 26
    1.A light ray in air is incident on a water surface at a 43° angle of incidence. Find the angles of (a)
    reflection and (b) refraction.
    2. A spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m
    horizontally displaced from the spotlight (see the drawing). The depth of the water is 4.0 m. Determine
    the distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom.
    3. A converging lens (f1 = 24.0 cm) is located 56.0 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f2 = 228.0 cm). An
    object is placed to the left of the converging lens, and the final image produced by the two-lens
    combination lies 20.7 cm to the left of the diverging lens. How far is the object from the converging
    lens?
    CHAPTER 27
    1. Two stars are 3.7×1011 m apart and are equally distant from the earth. A telescope has an objective lens
    with a diameter of 1.02 m and just detects these stars as separate objects. Assume that light of
    wavelength 550 nm is being observed. Also assume that diffraction effects, rather than atmospheric
    turbulence, limit the resolving power of the telescope. Find the maximum distance that these stars could be
    from the earth.
    2. A nonreflective coating of magnesium fluoride (n = 1.38) covers the glass (n = 1.52) of a camera lens.
    Assuming that the coating prevents reflection of yellow-green light (wavelength in vacuum = 565 nm),
    determine the minimum nonzero thickness that the coating can have.
    3. A circular drop of oil lies on a smooth, horizontal surface. The drop is thickest in the center and tapers
    to zero thickness at the edge. When illuminated from above by blue light (l = 455 nm), 56 concentric
    bright rings are visible, including a bright fringe at the edge of the drop. In addition, there is a bright
    spot in the center of the drop. When the drop is illuminated from above by red light (l = 637 nm), a
    bright spot again appears at the center, along with a different number of bright rings. Ignoring the bright
    spot, how many bright rings appear in red light? Assume that the index of refraction of the oil is the
    same for both wavelengths.
